SSC CGL Unemployment and Poverty Mock Test 2026: 50 GK MCQs with Answers
Unemployment and poverty look like theory-based topics, but the real difficulty starts when similar terms appear together. Seasonal unemployment and disguised unemployment are not the same. Poverty and inequality are also connected, but they do not describe exactly the same problem.
Unemployment questions become easier when you first look at why the person is without suitable work. A farm worker who gets work only during harvesting season is facing a different problem from a graduate whose skills do not match the jobs available in the market.
Poverty also needs the same kind of careful reading. A question may be asking about absolute poverty, relative poverty, poverty estimation or multidimensional deprivation. If you only remember the word poverty, two or three options can look correct.
This test keeps the chapter focused. You will practise unemployment types, labour-force basics, poverty concepts, Indian poverty and employment terminology, and development-related questions. The aim is to build clear concepts before you move to a complete Economics mock.
